What happens if you just disable 5G on your phone?

Sure, it could be done. We could all volunteer to maintain roads and bridges too. Grab those shovels comrades!

If only we had some way to collectively pay for professionals to perform services for the common wealth. Not everyone would want to pay of course, so we'd need to have some sort of rules and penalties for those who try to avoid paying their fair share. I've got it: we can send them to Mar-A-Lago!

Unless their parents own the company, anyone in hiring has been on both sides. And within the past 10 years (at least), job seekers have had to pack their resumes with keywords in order to get through HR. Yes, people should ideally take the time to tailor their resume to the position to which they're applying, but it's a lot less effort (and usually pays off) to just throw everything at the wall and see what sticks so you can get at least a phone interview.

Also, in the time it takes to customize a resume, the position might be closed, and nobody wants to spend hours mentally reviewing their past experience to highlight parallels with the position they're applying to, especially when there's no guarantee they'll even get to submit that resume, let alone that anyone important will look at it. There's risk involved. If there's a job I really want, I'll tailor my resume. If it's a job that would be lucky to have me.... not so much.

Also, (and I can't believe I'm arguing in favor of Java devs here) if a Java dev is applying, it's likely because they're willing to do the work, not because they don't understand the difference. Many devs avoid JS because they *do* understand it, not because they don't. "I'm willing to pay you a half-million dollars to stab yourself in the eye, but it says here you've never stabbed yourself in the eye before. What makes you think you can do this job?! Idiot!"

Also worth noting that Java and JS are not mutually exclusive, and many Java projects include JS these days, so unless JS is absent from their resume, being a Java dev is probably a point in favor. Plus you mentioned C#, which is basically "Microsoft Java."

Finally, it's ironic because any dev who's been working longer than, say, 5 years has experience in technologies, frameworks, or even just parts of an API a language that are obsolete today. Everyone has had to transition to new technologies and methods, even if they stay in the same role at the same company using the same tools. Being able to pivot isn't the exception; it's the rule.

Point being, a keyword mismatch is an HR-level problem. IMO, nobody doing hiring should toss a good resume just because the experience doesn't match the requirements.

In theory, I agree that a polished resume is a good sign, and I try to present myself well on paper... but as a counterpoint, my good friend of over 30 years never put his resume in anything but plaintext format, uses keyword salad at the end, and he's also one of the best devs I know, and has always had more work than he has time for. I would be interested to learn how well a polished resume correlates with workplace success though, because I might be wasting my time.

The original announcement isn't clear, but based on the relatively low number of affected devices (there must be hundreds of thousands of these routers in use), it seems that only "savvy" users who enabled forms-based logins on the WAN port may have been affected.

Installing a private key and enabling SSH on a non-default port (as the attackers did) is likely much more secure, if the device absolutely must be accessible, or enabling the VPN -- again with public/private key pairs.

If their government in China had their ass so far in their rectum to refuse global warming as factual, and promoted coal like Trump/GOP did, they would not be doing renewable like crazy.

The more important is not whether it is a democracy or a dictatorial regime, the more important factor was : they are not rejecting basic science.

If both side of the aisle accepted global warming and had the will to fight, you would see the same effort in the US. Unfortunately you have the GOP which is anti science. So instead you get a dead end.

Back in 2008, it was said that within a decades or two the storm surge would rise by a few inch , which would bring them further inland. This one example about how storm surge would be bigger : https://www.sciencedaily.com/r... The problem is that people like him are a bit clueless , they misremember, misinterpret, and then their misinterpretation/misremembering becomes "a failed prediction about global warming". That is, when they are even educated enough to even understand any article about AGW.

You are correct. Shipping per ocean, depending on some factor takes 15 to 30 days. The full weight of the tariff will start 30 days from the announcement - so basically start of may to mid may shipping will again drop down hard.

The irony is that half of the insipid comments are being made by people with 5 digit UIDs.

Nobody has to trust CVEs -- that's the point. They are verifiable and typically there are proofs of concept which are easily testable. People ignore them at their own peril. (Hint, nobody in security ignores CVEs -- on the contrary, they mine them for exploits).

government in terms of number of people employed has shrunk under pretty much every administration

If you did bother looking up FRED statistic you would have seen you are wrong : firstly , ignoring fluctuations, the number of federal employee grew pretty much under all administration from 1950 to 1990 and yes that include Reagan the trend is pretty damn clear. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/se...
Except a little bit at the start the number of federal employee grew under Reagan even right until the end. It dropped a bit only later under bush senior. In fact do you see when the number massively started to drop ? It was end of bush / and all Clinton's presidency.

Facit you and op are wrong. Reagan massively stocked up federal job, under Bush they dropped a bit, then under Clinton the number dropped massively. And it was NOT in any case a "drop" of number of employee after 1950.

The speed increase does not matter, what matters is the energy in case of a collision, especially with people on foot. A car at 40 kmh has about 75% more kinetic energy than one at 30 kmh (40*40/30*30=~1.77). Meaning if you hit another car or a person on foot, you dissipate into them for the collision or braking 75% more energy. What does that mean ? Counting emergency braking+reflex/thinking distance with zero visibility at 30 kmh it is around 20 meter, at 40 kmh this is 30 meter, you literally dwindle survival chance of anybody on foot.

It is an offense to pass by the red light line, once the light turn red. The issue is, dumb fucks see the orange light and see it as a reason to increase speed to pass thru before the red light. That's not how it should work. You are supposed to slow down (if feasible , e.g. you are still far away to not brake brutally) when it is orange and stop at the red light. In practice a huge percentage of people simply keep the same speed or even accelerate when they see the orange, to try to go through the crossroad before the red, and often fail, even when they are far away from the light.

That's how red light camera make money and that's why I am for them - fine the idiot until they learn to respect the lights.

Heck at my street there is a radar camera for speed above 35 kmh. And without fail, all the FUCKERS start going 40kmh and sometimes above after the speed check - we (inhabitant) have put a speed check there and car are nearly never at 30 kmh like they should. And THAT proves to me most car driver are asshole which view road rules as "optional", and I am for adding camera everywhere until they have no chance except respecting the damn road rules.

A car is not a right, it is a privilege given freely as long as one respect the rule.

That's why you will put the minimum federal wage at a living wage level, right ? right ? Nuff said.

You see "US is materially less trustworthy these days" , I beg to differ, see all that shit the US did in its history, Tuskegee experiment, trail of tears and massacre, internement of Japanese, come to WW2 only when attacked, shit with Irak and WMD, CIA impact on south-am, vietnam, and so forth.... I have never seen the US as more trustworthy than your random superpower seeing only its own interest (political and economical) - and nobody's else - they only aligned with ours by accident. And now you see the emperor with cloth, the one I already saw decades ago without cloth. Just sayin'.

Per fortnight.
